Don't despair!  None of the actual debugging code has been removed and
the SMTP "DEBUG" command has only been disabled by default.  The normal
-d switch works just as usual and you can even turn on SMTP DEBUG by
defining NETDEBUG in conf.h if you think you really need it temporarily
or whatever.

If SMTP DEBUG means much for you, you'll probably be happy to know
that it should be relatively safe to turn it on again when I get 1.2.9
over to arisia.xerox.com.  This revision has had the offending tTd(0, 1)
escape removed from recipient.c (yes, so debug code was actually removed
in the end -- so shoot me).  It will also close another potential hole
that was discovered recently but which nobody seems to have tried to
utilize yet.  I'll probably keep NETDEBUG undefined by default, though;
I still feel a bit uneasy about it.
